basilpestos journey to midstakes grinding BIG volume

Sweat the miserable micro stakes grind alongside me!

I’m an old washed up pro getting back into the cash game scene and starting to study. I’m making this PBG to help with accountability as well as make some friends along the way 🙂 formerly an mtt player, my cash game theory knowledge is quite minimal at this time and a focus of mine will be using wizard to improve my game.

Poker in general is not very entertaining or enjoyable for me, so i’ll do my best to make the game as fun as I can. Historically, I have found my passion in poker through spending time in the lab studying, and getting those dopamine hits of achievement when there is clear growth in my game.

In the early phases of trying different pools/sites and seeing where I should focus my volume., At the moment my volume is at coin poker, but I’m not sure how long that will last. The rake is favourable for micros (comparable to others) which is nice but there are some better options out there with softer pools at micros.

Daily checklist
30 min walk
30 min lift
Review marked spots from previous day as warm up for session
Play 3k hands

Monthly target is 100k hands. For now, I’ll be grinding 25nl mostly at coinpoker until a better option arises.

The day looks pretty full with this schedule. As long as i’m consistent i’ll be content with what happens. Look forward to chatting with some of you and following along the way.

Played 3 sessions this week of 25nl at coinpoker, totaling about 13.5k hands for a profit of $32.96

Have several spicy spots this week.... Next update I should post a few I reviewed. Respect to the try hards on CP grinding 25nl playing their hearts out everyday making my life difficult. I'll see if i can hang with you guys. You have proven 25nl is no walk in the park nowadays and its going to take some dedicated study to compete.
